Thought provking, incredible book, April 27, 2000
This review is from: Saved by the Light (Mass Market Paperback)
Dannion Brinkley's book, Saved By The Light" is a truly, incredible, life-transforming book. I would say that after reading this book, which by the way, I could not put down until I finished it, Dannion was indeed "saved by the light". What I found so fascinating was the turn-around - the total turn around of his life. I had heard about life reviews before, but the impact for me, was that not only do we get to review our life, but also get to review how the other person felt whom we were hurting, whether it be conscious or unconscious. How our actions have a "ripple effect" in the world. I can only imagine what pain that must be. I was also especially moved by the messages that the book imparts, messages of God's love and kindness and forgiveness. These messages are old, yet they have spanned time and remain true today in the new millennium and I feel, are needed more than ever. Dannion's will to survive, and his peacefulness on accepting death helped me see that we are indeed much more than our human bodies. I commend him on his hospice work and sharing with us that death is a time for love and forgiveness. He shows us that death is a healing time for all families and that death is actually the beginning of our next life, our next adventure. Nothing to fear, but to embrace instead. The quote that most inspired me from the book from the Being of Light is, "What you are is the difference that God makes. And that difference is love." This is a book that needs to be passed on and on and on! I cannot recommend it enough. For those who have recently lost a love one, this book will provide immeasurable comfort for you.

Absolute Truth and a Must Read for EVERYONE, January 3, 2004
This review is from: Saved by the Light (Mass Market Paperback)
Dannion Brinkley brings astounding truth as to the actual death experience, and what it is like to come back to life. I know, as a dear family member went through the same experience back in the 1964.
What is most important about this book is that before Dannion's experience, he was one mean, angry guy who brought a lot of pain to a lot of people. When he describes his experiences in this book, he shares how he FELT the pain as he re-lived it during his life review. I read this book when it first came out, nearly a decade ago, and his words STILL stay with me.
No matter HOW much pain you have caused to others, no matter how many hurtful acts you have committed, ANYONE CAN turn it all around, once they turn themselves around.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone whose life has been at the bottom of the barrel, where they KNOW they have brought many people pain, and justified it all along.
This book is a testament to one Divine and wonderful being, Dannion Brinkley, and HOW he was able to turn his life around once he was brought to the light in respect to the life he lived prior to his death experience.
This book is an outstanding contribution to humanity. 10 Stars!

If you're only going to buy one NDE book, get this one!, May 1, 2000
This review is from: Saved by the Light (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of the most intelligently written NDE (near death experience) books I've ever read. (And I've read a few...) Dannion's story was an amazing one and he told it very well. It is a compelling book - I found myself devouring the book cover to cover and then perusing it a second time. One of the most interesting things I picked up on in this book is his experience of returning to this life. He had been sent down to the morgue, with a sheet draped over his body, when he came back to life. And he talked about the moment of decision - whether to go back or to remain in the next life - and once that decision was made, his body stirred and he was alive again. This (to me) was a wonderful proof that there is no power in the body. It is not the body that makes decisions about life. Dannion's body was dead but once he decided to return to (this) life, the body was restored. The human scene shifted to correspond with the spiritual reality and the spiritual decisions. Read the book and draw your own inspirations, revelations and education. It was a great read and a book with much depth.
